Telehealth counseling can be a valuable tool for providing mental health support to teenagers.

 

OUR APPROACH TO WORKING WITH TEENS

Building a strong therapeutic relationship is essential in any counseling setting, but it can be especially important when counseling teenagers. We take the time to establish trust and rapport with the teenager by actively listening, validating their feelings, and demonstrating empathy.

Teenagers may have busy schedules and we understand that, It's important to us that we are flexible with scheduling and offer virtual sessions at times that are convenient for them.

Involving parents in the telehealth session, especially when discussing issues that may impact the family as a whole can help improve communication and support within the family.

Therapy can help your teen:

  • Develop coping skills

  • Improve communication skills

  • Increase self-awareness

  • Provide a safe space to express emotions

  • Address mental health concerns

  • Develop problem-solving skills

  • Address family issues

  • Increase self-esteem

  • Improve academic performance

We’re here to support your teen as they grow into new phases of life.
